The phase of the time code can correspond to either the HDY output signals of the MON OUT connector or VBS output signals of the VIDEO OUT connector. However, the same value should commonly be set to the GL PHASE for all cameras. If different values coexist in the system, the shooting timing may not correspond to each other.

Since time is required for making the 2:3 pull-down from the 24P frame, there is a video signal delay in the camera. When recording from a device that can record images without a delay and the unit is connected in parallel, it is necessary to synchronize the time code.

<Note>

The system can be configured with multiple units by opening

the <GENLOCK> screen from the SYSTEM SETTING page

and setting the GL PHASE item to the connector using menu

operations.

The phase of the time code can correspond to either the HD-

Y output signals of the MON OUT connector or VBS output

signals of the VIDEO OUT connector. However, the same

value should commonly be set to the GL PHASE for all

cameras. If different values coexist in the system, the

shooting timing may not correspond to each other.
